A selection panel consisting of: a member of the Board of Management of Scoil na gCeithre Máistrí, a pupil of the school, a representative of the teaching staff, a local artist and a parent will choose the successful submission.

If necessary, a shortlist of artists will be compiled. A fee of €500 may be paid to shortlisted artists if further work is required to prepare a more detailed submission.
